Funny how the diesel only crowd thinks 3k rpm isn't high rpm. It's a blur. Because a gas engine runs about 30% higher rpm doesn't make the diesel's rpm low. Compared to a 19,000 rpm Formula One race car engine, 5k rpm is nothing. The gas and diesel engines in our pickup trucks aren't that far apart.
I'm not a diesel only guy. I don't mind having a gas grocery get'er.
All of my toy cars have been gas.
My new Ram ('13) has never seen over 2500 RPMs towing my rig. That's half the RPM of your 5000 RPM runs. To me, that's half the wear.
While the gas motor is running 3000+ just to hold speed towing heavy mine is sitting at 15-1600. Again, half the wear.
